My wife and I began our Reston condo kitchen renovation some 5 months ago. Very early in the process we contacted Terry and he graciously gave us novices advice as to the stages and sequence to follow. When we finally took care of all other aspects, Terry arrived to tackle the cabinet refacing. He was supremely organized, punctual, respectful, and enjoyable to be around. His work was meticulous indeed and he even fixed several lingering issues pertaining to both inside and outside of our cabinets. He arrived promptly at 8 each morning and worked in stages to complete the project. He is truly a master craftsman who sought to minimize disruption in our shared space. He maintained good humor and kindness throughout and was most considerate of our time parameters. He was not satisfied until he felt that his work was perfect. With all the workers who have worked on our renovation, including "the night crew" (my wife and I), Terry was the #1 contractor we employed. We heartily endorse him and hope that you will have an experience as positive and productive as ours.

I am writing this review from the comfort of our new custom built-in cabinets and workspace. These custom built-in cabinets and workspace make me feel like I'm a VIP at a posh hotel, and everyone who has seen them is taken aback by the look, fit, and finish. The cabinets and workspace transformed a sitting room from one that lay essentially dormant for a decade to a functional and beautiful room that we use every day. That's a significant boost to our home's intrinsic value for us. If you are looking for high quality woodwork at a fair price, look no farther than Terry's Custom Woodworks. We are very satisfied with the quality of workmanship, timeliness, and value for our money. Terry was fun to work with, and delivered on his promise with a quality job, on time, and on budget. Now we can't move because we love this room! "Transformative" is the best word to describe what his craftsmanship achieved for us. What more could you ask for? Thanks Terry!

Terry designed and built a custom desk, bookshelves and file cabinets in our home office. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. At our first meeting, he listened closely to our ideas. His design included all our requirements and improvements we never would have considered. We chose cherry wood (an additional cost) and his care with the materials was evident. Terry is an "old-school" craftsman. He is personally invested in each project and wants his customers to be delighted.

Terry recently completed a job refacing our 1984 real wood kitchen cabinets and building a custom pantry and cabinetry to accommodate a new appliance in our home. His craftsmanship is outstanding and his communication before and while on the job was superb. Terry offered fantastic suggestions to help us maximize the space, and we knew what to expect and when, and he worked with us explaining his design approach. Our kitchen functions in a much more efficient way, and we love the new, updated look. The doors and materials are top-notch, and the little extras he knew to put in to accommodate our modern family into our 1964 home were outstanding. We highly recommend Terry. Bonus - How we were fortunate enough to get a native Louisianan to be part of our household for the week over Mardi Gras is a special kind of luck. His personality and kindness is infectious, even with our curious cats inspecting his work at every turn. Terry was a joy to have in our home, and he's left his mark in the cabinets and in our hearts!

Terry is a master! He designed, created and installed our custom desk and double bookshelf cabinets. They look amazing and are built with amazing attention to detail. The only thing better than his woodworking skills is his wonderful personality. He is such a fun person to be around and work with. We definitely recommend his work for your home. We are definitely going back on our future home improvement projects.

Terry work with us to design and build custom cabinets for our pantry. He delivered a quality product that we are extremely happy with. We would work with Terry again on another product in a heartbeat. We have recently worked with a large contractor on a fully remodeled kitchen and experience multiple pain points. There was none of that with Terry.

Terry was extremely professional and helpful during our experience using both his kitchen cabinet refacing and custom shelf building services. Because I was still living out of the area when he was completing the work, I entrusted him completely with the design and the security of my home and he did not disappoint! My kitchen is gorgeous and the shelves he designed and built on both sides of my fireplace are absolutely perfect and just what the space needed! I would highly recommend Terry for his great work and great customer service!

We hired Terry to build a custom built-in entertainment center for our living room, and we could not be more pleased with the finished product! Terry paid meticulous attention to every detail from start to finish, and he is a consummate professional. The cost was reasonable, and we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly he was able to complete our project. Terry even returned after the cabinet was painted to make final tweaks and ensure everything was perfect. We look forward to working with him on future projects and recommend him without reservation!

Terry designed, built and installed a large custom, floor to ceiling cabinet/shelving unit in one of our bedrooms. The craftsmanship, quality of materials and final outcome is fantastic. He is very dependable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him for any custom cabinet job and will certainly use him again when the need arises. Thank you Terry.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the craftsmanship from Terry’s Custom Woodworks. Terry is very easy to work with for a custom design that suits your needs. In 2014 he replaced our entry-way pocket door closet with a beautiful and much more functional built in cabinet, closet and storage unit with sitting area. He also transformed our basement with a custom built-in bookshelf, fireplace frame and mantel unit, and half-wall storage cabinets. Terry iterates with you on your design ideas, providing detailed drawings, and even mock-ups when necessary to ensure everyone is on the same page. He takes pride and care in his craftsmanship and strives to give you the best value for your dollar.

Terry's Custom Woodworks is the best! My husband and I recently converted our formal living space into a library with the installation of custom-built bookcases (Photo on Terry's Custom Woodworks) designed specifically for our space by Terry himself. Terry's experience, talent and eye for detail were exactly what we needed to get this job done and at a fair price. Terry takes great pride in his craft and will tweak and tweak again until he reaches perfection; a trait not found in most craftsman today. We highly recommend Terry to anyone looking add custom woodworks to his or her home, he is a consummate professional.

Terry was recommended by our interior decorator. He is very professional, creative, punctual and easy to work with. He provided a detail sketch so we knew exactly what we were getting. I loved how he made suggestions that added to the project but also worked with what I wanted. He built the cabinet at his workshop then installed it in our house so the distribution in our house was minimal. He exceeded our expectations. He, also, checked in a few months after the project to make sure we still loved the cabinet and we do. Terry is a true craftsman that takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Terry’s Custom Woodworks.

He stands behind his work and will correct any problems. He also makes every effort to meet project deadlines and fast track requests. Our Christmas holidays were enhanced last year when he delivered custom woodworking in a short time before the holiday. We highly recommend his services for anyone desiring custom millwork.

Excellent Craftsman

Terry Cooper finished re-facing my old cherry cabinets last week. I am very, very pleased with how my new white shaker cabinets look and function. Unlike my old cabinet doors, Terry’s fit properly with no spaces between them. In addition to doing an excellent job with the cabinets, Terry helped us with a huge appliance problem we had. After weeks of looking at refrigerators, I finally found only one French door model that would fit into the limited space I have. But this meant that Terry would have to modify an upper cabinet to make the refrigerator fit. Terry measured several times to make sure his cabinet cut would accommodate my new refrigerator properly and still maintain the continuity with the other cabinets. When the installers brought my refrigerator, they were skeptical that it would fit in the space. I trusted Terry’s measurements and told the installers to bring in the refrigerator, and it fit perfectly and looks lovely under the modified cabinet.
I wholeheartedly recommend Terry Cooper for your next cabinet project. Not only is Terry a skilled craftsman who gives attention to detail, but he is also a man of integrity who does what he says he will do, does it well, and in a timely fashion. After Terry finished my cabinets, my painter came to paint my kitchen and asked if I was happy with the new cabinets. I told him I was extremely satisfied, and he remarked that as a painter he had worked for many people who were less than satisfied with the cabinet makers whom they had chosen. I feel lucky to have found Terry Cooper, recommend him highly, and will definitely use him again. And I will add that Terry was also pleasant to work with, so much so that my husband remarked that he would miss seeing Terry each morning before he left for work. Thank you Terry!

Terry is VERY Professional - JOB WELL DONE!

We hired Terry to build a large 80" custom Vanity for our Master Bathroom. We could not be more pleased with how the project came out! On Time, On Budget and fine Quality.
We use quite a few contractors and I must say, Terry has been by far the most reliable, pleasant and professional individual we have dealt with.
His is an exceptional Cabinet Maker and would stack his work at the top against any of the finest craftsmen in the world.
His attention detail is superior as he was able to gently and professional guide us on a custom design which matches the rest of our furniture.
I would highly recommend Terry if your looking quality and those unique pieces that will surely stand out in your home. Would be happy to accept any and all calls or email for reference.

Custom Pantry Cabinetry

Terry created a beautiful walk-in pantry complete with food storage shelves, display shelves, cookie sheet holders and closed cabinetry. His workmanship and precise attention to detail is wonderful. He is a gem and was a pleasure to work with on the project. Our pantry is a very efficient use of space and the cabinetry matches our existing gourmet kitchen. We would highly recommend his services and would use him again.

Craftsmanship exceeds expectations

We are very pleased with the additions to our kitchen that Terry Cooper built for us--a standalone island with cherry wood that matches our current kitchen cabinets, as well as a large cabinet that fits perfectly into our oddly shaped kitchen niche. Terry was easy to work with, offering helpful suggestions that resulted in the design of a final product that blends well with the rest of our kitchen. His meticulous craftsmanship exceeded our expectations.

Meticulous craftsman

I am an experienced home renovator and I engaged Terry to undertake a fairly significant cabinet refacing job (27 doors and 24 drawers as well as a built-in wine chiller and kitchen island). He exceeded my expectations in every way. The new cabinet doors and drawer fronts are of the highest quality maple and were installed with self-closing, hidden hinges. Terry also carefully refaced all exposed sides and bottoms of the cabinets and was extremely meticulous about preparing the cabinet fronts for new material. The finished kitchen looks amazing. I am very pleased to recommend Terry for this type of cabinet work...he is a craftsman in a world where such people are exceedingly rare.

Exceptionally professional and experienced

For roughly the price of a mass production company, we were fortunate to have Terry reface our kitchen cabinets and do some significant custom work. He is personally amiable and articulate, very professional and rightfully proud of his craftsmanship. The supplier he uses provided exceptional material. He did the job in a timely fashion and was always available for communication. One important distinguishing feature: he was willing to bring forward options we had not considered, but also laid back enough if we chose not to pursue any specific idea.

The quality of the workmanship is top notch and he always gave us new ideas on how to maximize the space and also get top quality cabinets within our budget. We now practically live in our kitchen because it really is the best looking room in the house. If you are looking to renovate your kitchen, closet or any other room Terry is the one to call.

I was happy with the actual cabinets, but wanted to change the look. Terry came out and measured every door, every drawer and took in account every detail to ensure that my kitchen would look amazing after he re-faced it.
He is courteous and will come out even after his job is done. He wants to make sure that you are satisfied!
I am sure that if you call Terry, you will be very happy and very satisfied with his job.

The epitome of professionalism-I have NEVER been more pleased with any service provider.

There is no way to do Terry Cooper justice in a written review. You would have to meet him to fully appreciate his friendliness, honesty, perfectionism, unparalleled experience and passion for his work. After searching for months for someone to build custom shelves I was about to quit after having multiple "professionals"'give me quotes without even coming to the house, telling me I should do cabinets instead of benches (whose custom built-ins are these?!?!), asking me to send pictures because they were too lazy to come give an estimate, and referring me to multiple other people first to have a vent and electrical sockets moved. And then my neighbors told me about Terry. He contacted me immeadiately, was prompt, precise, helpful and kind. He listened to all of my requests, said he could do all the vent/electrical work himself, drew incredibly specific plans BY HAND, gave a reasonable estimate for his work, stuck to his timeline and delivered an incredibly amazing product-having even thought of things that I did not, like slow close toy benches for my little guys, adjustable shelves and areas to hide all of our wires. I would recommend Terry for any job and only wish that there were more craftsman out there like him.... His professionalism, loyalty to his customers and dedication to his craft is almost impossible to find nowadays and I greatly appreciate it.

Excellent Quality Craftsman

Terry is an amazing craftsman! I got three different estimates before contacting him. He not only gave me the best price, he also took detailed measurements and spent time with me to ensure that I got what I wanted. The other companies did not do that. Terry is very personable and also won the affection of my dog Rocky! He is very knowledgeable and helped me through the design process, as there were details that I was not aware of that needed to be planned before the project could begin. He communicated thoroughly with me every step of the way to ensure that I was happy with the project. I truly felt that he cared about my needs. The project was completed in a timely manner and the results were stunning. The built in cabinets he installed on both sides of my family room fireplace and the new mantel look like they were there all along. The painter he recommended also did a very professional job, He took a lot of time to prepare the space before painting to ensure no damage to adjacent areas, which I really appreciated. He returned a second day to inspect the job and to touch up any areas that needed it. I would recommend both Terry and his painter highly. I will not hesitate to ask Terry to work on other projects for me in the future and have already had his painter do some other work in my basement.
